Etymology
"MEIKO" comes directly from her voice provider's name, "Haigō Meiko."
"Megumi" was also a name that was considered during her development.[2]
MEIKO's codename of "HANAKO" likely came from " Yamada Hanako (山田花子)", a placeholder name for female characters and the Japanese equivalent to "Jane Smith".
She is often misnamed as Sakine Meiko by fans. The name originates from a derivative of the same name.
Appearance
The illustration was done by Shogo Washizu, often called わっしー(Wasshi), a former member of Crypton.[3][4]
Crypton placed this product on the market with a box art that depicted a
female illustrated character. This character had nothing to do with the
singer's image, but her anime-based appearance appealed to the
mainstream audience and the software sold well. Wat
even stated how different the intention of the CV series and
KAITO/MEIKO were during the development of KAITO V3. This even led to
the direction of the updates leading to a completely different course of
development compared to the Appends of Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin/Len,
and Megurine Luka.
MEIKO's boxart hides the front of her red sleeveless jacket, it is difficult to tell what design it consists of. Due to this factor, there are many different designs, even for official artwork.[5] There is no official given age. Although, in Maker Hikōshiki Hatsune Mix she is usually portrayed as a middle-aged woman by KEI, who mentioned in a magazine interview that what he depicts in the comic is not official.[6]
Spurned on by the items held by Hatsune Miku and KAITO, it became popular to feature MEIKO with One Cup Ozeki (sake).
Relations
- KAITO: a complementary voice bank with masculine vocals.
